Abuja has witnessed a surge in online scams after a fake Facebook account was created in the name of Amb. Dunoma Ahmed, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

This move demonstrates the ministry’s dedication to maintaining transparency and protecting citizens from online fraud.
By working together with relevant authorities, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, under the leadership of Amb. Dunoma Ahmed, aims to prevent further deception and ensure the public is aware of the risks associated with such scams.
The ministry’s commitment to integrity and citizen protection remains unwavering, and it will continue to take necessary steps to combat fraudulent activities.
